Default Argh. Wheel regret?! Opinions welcome!

So I snapped. I love my factory black altitude wheels with my 35" Trail Grapplers wrapped around them but I wanted to avoid continuing to run spacers so....I ordered 5 Black Rhino Sidewinders Sidewinder Off Road Wheels and Sidewinder Off Road Rims for Trucks by Black Rhino.

They'll be here Monday and I don't know....I've been torn since ordering them. Do I keep them or look for something else?! I thought they looked rad when I was wheel searching then I've looked at them on a zillion Wranglers on Google. Maybe it's they tires they rock. I don't know.

Need pick me ups!

I looked at those I liked the look but then I scored a deal on these and after I ordered them I worried but now that I have the tires mounted I like them. I kind of wish they had a tad more backspace ie 5" instead of 4.5" but I bet you will like yours when you get the tires on them.

I feel your pain brother. Choosing wheels was the hardest decision in my life, asks my wife who suffered through months of me staring at wheel/tire combos on Google image searches. She then witnessed 5 wheels arrive from Amazon and I refused shipment because I thought they looked "rad" when I ordered them, and then changed my mind.

Then I ordered another set. Used them for 2 months, sold them and now just yesterday got one that I love! It's been an ordea for my friends and family haha! Finally settled on Pro Comp 5034 and couldn't be happier.

Good luck on your quest!

Cant give much input as to the style of the wheels, everyone has their own flavor.

I'll mention that I did something similar as well though. Order 1 wheel to check it out, even went as far as having a tire put on it. In the end, I went with a different style of wheel. Now I have 1 odd ball wheel, pretty much new, non-returnable, sitting in my basement.

I think they will look good. But so many wheels out there to choose from.

I like the black altitude wheels. I sometimes wish I would have kept mine instead of buying aftermarket. Prob not what you were looking to hear.
